[PATCH] efi_runtime: use memdup_user() as a cleanup

Got warning when upstreaming efi_runtime driver

drivers/firmware/efi/test/efi_test.c:269:8-15: WARNING opportunity for
memdup_user

Use memdup_user rather than duplicating its implementation
This is a little bit restricted to reduce false positives
